Galata Köprüsü

Bridges hold a special allure for humans, and as a result, they frequently become the subjects of myths and legends. That is especially true in Istanbul, where the city's many bridges have become cultural icons.

The Galata Bridge over the Golden Horn is significant for more reasons than its history, so focusing solely on that would be a mistake. Like a fellow citizen, this bridge has served as more than just a practical means of transportation between two points across a body of water; it has also carried deep spiritual significance for its users. The bridge played an important role in Turkish literature, particularly in the late 19th century. Nearly every novelist, like Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpinar and Ahmet Rasim, has written about this bridge, especially in the last medium.

During the Turkish siege of Istanbul in 1453, the city's oldest known bridge was constructed across the Golden Horn. The idea of building a permanent bridge here was discussed in 1502 and 1503, and Leonardo da Vinci used this item to sketch out a design for a single-span bridge with double pillars at either end, measuring 350 meters in length and 24 meters in width (1148 x 79 feet).

Ne yazık ki, lojistik zorluklar bu olayı engelledi, bu yüzden başka bir İtalyan sanatçı Michelangelo yerine İstanbul için bir köprü oluşturmak için emir verildi. Michelangelo teklifi reddettikten sonra, burada bir köprü inşa etme fikri 19. yüzyılın sonuna kadar çöktü. Azapkapi ve Unkapani'yi birleştiren köprü Sultan Mahmut II (1808-1839) tarafından emir almıştır ve 19. yüzyılın başlarında inşa edilmiştir. Hayratiye Köprüsü 3 Eylül 1836'da adlandırıldı.

Using the navy's manpower and equipment, Deputy Lord High Admiral Fevzi Ahmet Pasha completed the task. The total length of this pontoon bridge ranged from about 500 to 540 meters (1640 to 1771 feet).

In 1845, the mother of Sultan Abdulmecid built the first Galata Bridge at the channel's mouth, and it was in use for the next 18 years. To differentiate it from the older bridge further up the Golden Horn, which became known as the Cisr-i Atik, or Old Bridge, the newer bridge was given the name Cisr-i Cedid or New Bridge.

Abdulmecid Han was the man responsible for constructing the new bridge. The Sultan of Ottomany was the first to cross the bridge, followed by the French captain Magnan of the Cygne. After the first three days, a toll called "mürüriye" was paid to the Naval Ministry to cross the bridge.

After Napoleon III's planned visit to the city in 1863, Sultan Abdulaziz had Ethem Pertev Pasha construct a new wooden bridge.

Üçüncü köprü inşa etmek için 1870 yılında Fransız şirketi Forges et Chantiers de la Mediterranée ile sözleşme imzaladıktan sonra, proje Fransa ve Almanya arasında savaş başladığından dolayı ertelendi ve sonunda 1872 yılında İngiliz şirketi G. Wells'e verildi. 1875'te inşa edilen bu pistonlu köprü 480 metre uzunluğunda ve 14 metre genişliğinde (1574 x 46 feet) ölçüldü. İnşaatın toplam maliyeti 105.000 liraya ulaştı.

In 1912, the German Man Company spent 350,000 gold liras constructing the fourth Galata Bridge. The length of this bridge was 466 meters, and its width was 25 meters (82 feet). The bridge many people today recognize was badly damaged in a fire in 1992 and was towed up the Golden Horn to make way for the newer bridge. The fifth bridge, measuring 490 meters (1608 feet) in length and 42 meters (138 feet) in width, opened in 1994 and is still in use today.

The Galata Bridge connected the historic city of Istanbul, home to the imperial palace and major religious and secular institutions of the Ottoman Empire, with the modern neighborhoods of Galata, Beyoglu, Sisli, and Harbiye, where a disproportionate number of non-Muslims and foreign merchants and diplomats made their homes. In this way, the bridge brought together two very different cultures.

According to author Peyami Safa's novel Fatih-Harbiye, anyone who crosses the bridge from Fatih to Harbiye enters an entirely new culture and civilization. The Galata Bridge has appeared in many works of fiction and has also been the subject of numerous paintings and engravings due to its picturesque appearance.
